What's that noise?

For some time now, years really, my support staff and I have had trouble sleeping. We're disturbed by these mysterious sound waves that nobody else can hear. Realizing it's everywhere we go, we were convinced it was just us.

Over the last couple months, the subject of restless nights has cropped up in separate conversations with different friends. They were saying they used to have no trouble sleeping all night. But now they have a hard time staying asleep, often waking two or three times.

Then I noticed a lot of stories in magazines, the net, and on TV about the importance of sleep to our well being. The stories were followed by ads for some sort of sleep aid, usually pills of some kind.

So now I'm working on a conspiracy theory. I mean why not. Dan Brown made millions doing it. So let's see; it's the drug companies, the cable companies, the power companies, the government, and... I better throw in the Knights Templar, and maybe an albino monk too.

Yep, best seller written all over it.
